This Air Jordan 1 Is Included In Nike’s Latino Heritage Month 2017 Collection

Hispanic or Latino Heritage Month kicked off on September 15th and it will be continue until October 15th. The Hispanic Heritage Month dates back to the 1960s, when President Lydon B. Johnson decided that an entire week should be dedicated to the celebration of Latino achievements and advancements. Eventually, the week was extended to a month-long celebration by Ronald Regan and all the presidents after have celebrated Latino Heritage Month ever since. Eventually, Nike also decided to take part in the celebration and then Jordan Brand join in as well. Thus, Nike’s Latino Heritage Month 2017 Collection will include a special Air Jordan 1 iteration dubbed “Los Primeros.”

There are many Central American countries that achieved independence in September, and that is why the date was chosen to kick off Latino Heritage Month. So, those Central American countries actually end up celebrating their independence days around the same time. For instance, Mexico celebrates its Independence Day right after Latino Heritage Month begins, i.e. on September 16th, 2017. As mentioned, this month-long celebration that symbolizes cultural pride for Hispanics is meant to highlight contributions that Latin Americans have made in the United States. In fact, Latino Heritage Month even recognizes outstanding Hispanic individuals with ancestors from areas like the Caribbean and Spain.

In case readers are thinking this sneaker looks familiar, that is because it is the Air Jordan 1 “Los Primeros” that has been designed by POMB, the Brazilian artist whose real name is Thales Fernando. Previously, this artistic and elaborate Air Jordan 1 iteration was believed to be a stand-alone sneaker. However, now it seems that it will be joining the Air Force 1, Air Max 1 and Cortez iterations, all of which have been designed by different Hispanic artists. Of course, the highlight of the Air Jordan 1 “Los Primeros” is the colorful artwork and tonal graphics that appear to be covering its nearly all-Black uppers.

Nike’s Latino Heritage Month 2017 Collection is scheduled to arrive at retailers on October 13th, 2017, just before Latino Heritage Month ends. Hence, that is when the Air Jordan 1 “Los Primeros” will also end up retailing at a price of $160.
